Tears in a Bottle

"...put thou my tears into thy bottle..."

I sometimes wonder if God made tears for the times when we cannot speak. When I am incapable of pouring out to my God. Is it then Lord that my tears are brought before your thrown? During times of such heartache that my tears are somehow sweeter to you than any words that I could utter. And yet, I think that you understand those more so than anything. Sometimes it is tears that speak when you have nothing left to say or think.

I bring my tears before your thrown as a prayer. Accept them Lord when my heart aches. When I don't know even what I am asking of you. Sometimes they are tears of a broken heart. Sometimes tears of fear. Tears of shame. Tears of forgiveness. Tears of appreciation for the Grace, Love, and tender arms that hold me up. But they are also tears that I bring to you because you alone are the one that will "wipe all tears from my eyes."
